Jeremy and Erika also shared the same stats as Kelly and Tony too. First the moat, first in the Steps (close to a sweep), 2-.5 score in the temple games, and won the temple run. Although that temple win though has nothing on Billy the Kid.         

[The Silver Monkey]

Yeah, I wonder how we would score all the losing teams. Maybe it could go like this:

THE MOAT
- 20pts for 1st, 15pts for 2nd, 10pts for 3rd, 5pts for 4th

THE STEPS OF KNOWLEDGE
- 11pts for the first question right, 10pts for the second, 10pts for third (And an extra 5pts if the team swept the steps?)
- 2pt deduction for an incorrect question

THE TEMPLE GAMES
- 5pts for tying temple game
- 10pts for winning a half-pendant game
- 20pts for winning a full-pendant game
- 10pts for winning a tie-breaker
- 5pts for winning a tie-breaker via the other team getting it wrong

THE TEMPLE
- 25pts for grabbing the artifact
- 10pts for entering room with artifact, despite not picking it up
- 10pts for finding and picking up the hidden half-pendant
- 15pt deduction for taking an incorrect route

And a 5pt bonus to the War Fan and Discarded Seal team who REALLY got screwed over.

I don't know if that would work or not, but that's what I've got.

Not bad at all, there's only two things I would change/add:

-Since the team temple game is worth more than the individual ones, tying it should also be worth more than tying an individual game

-IMO, teams who didn't reach their artifact should still be awarded some points for the temple run. Something like (Number of rooms cleared x 5), maybe?

That said, I'm all for a thread in the Heart Room.

Great, I don't know why we didn't do this sooner. Considering TMH started this a long time ago. And I agree about the things you'd add too.

[The Ancient Warrior]

Now that I think of it, what if someone ranked the best "losing team" on the show? Like the way TMH ranked the best winning team. The scoring system can be the same, just no points for victory obviously.

We all know that Travis and Elisa would come out on top, though.

Wrong. Nick and Chandra from Leopard Skin Cloak would. First in the moat, first in the Steps of Knowledge, swept the temple games. Kind of like how Kelly and Tony from Billy the Kid dominated every round and won the whole thing.

According to TMH's scoring system, they should get docked 15 points due to Chandra unnecessarily entering the Room of the Secret Password:

I created a scorecard system to determine the best team ever on the show.  Here's how the scoring worked.

THE MOAT
- 20pts for 1st, 15pts for 2nd, 10pts for 3rd, 5pts for 4th
- 2pt deduction for every 30 seconds that elapses

THE STEPS OF KNOWLEDGE
- 11pts for the first question right, 10pts for the second, all the way down to 1pt for the eleventh question right
- 2pt deduction for an incorrect question

THE TEMPLE GAMES
- 10pts for winning a half-pendant game
- 20pts for winning a full-pendant game
- 10pts for winning a tie-breaker
- 5pts for winning a tie-breaker via the other team getting it wrong

THE TEMPLE
- 25pts for grabbing the artifact
- 25pts for getting it out of the Temple
- 10pts for finding and picking up the hidden half-pendant
- 15pt deduction for taking an incorrect route

The maximum number of points as such is 140 (20 Moat + 30 Steps + 40 Games + 50 Temple).  While 145 _is_ possible (20 + 30 + 30 + 10 + 60 Temple) for teams with 1.5 Pendants, it never happened.

And now, here we go:  the countdown of the twenty best Legends teams!

I think the only problem there is that the "wrong turn" clause was a little bit vague.  Looking back at the list, I don't think TMH penalized a team for adding a room or two onto the route to the artifact as long as they eventually got there (such as starting in the Crypt only to have to go down to the Ledges).  Only if they ran into a complete dead end or backtracked by mistake, like from the Shrine to the Room of the Secret Password.

At least, that's how I think he did it.  I suppose adding an unnecessary trip to the Room of the Secret Password or Quicksand Bog onto the path to the artifact isn't "wrong" per se, just less efficient than the quicker route.

Then perhaps do a calculation of "number of unnecessary rooms entered * 5" or something to that effect?

I was thinking should I start a new topic in The Heart Room about rating everyone on the show or something like this. If so, I would NOT include wrong turns.

[PurpleParrot319]

Shouldn't this talk be in the Heart Room? 

[Purple Parrots Fan]

We are. There's a topic in there.

[Purple Parrots Fan]

Dang, 30 people online today? I guess the spambots are making their return here.

Damn, and some of them were NOT caused by me.

31 guests? Geez, I really wonder where they came from. The "Who's Online" page is also 2 pages too.
